Greetings all, My name is Paul Clark, 34 years old and from Kansas City, Kansas. My love of older bikes came about with the purchase of an old Peugeot (not quite old enough for this list, but I like it). Anyway, my question. I was at my local bike shop the other day looking at the old bikes they had hanging in the back and found this old Italian bike. The bike shop owner says it's probably from the late 60's or early 70's but I've never heard of them before. The brand name is Corso. It is mostly Compagnolo equipt. On the top tube it has decals that say "Special Valentino Compagnolo's". Can anyone tell me where I may be able to find some information on these bikes? I can't seem to find anything about them on the internet.
Thank you for any advice you all may have.
